Deceleration capacity of heart rate as a predictor of mortality after myocardial infarction: cohort study

Decreased vagal activity after myocardial infarction results in reduced heart-rate variability and increased risk of death. To distinguish between vagal and sympathetic factors that affect heart-rate variability, we used a signal-processing algorithm to separately characterise deceleration and accel...
